Has anyone used Lil Swimmers?

I am thinking about starting a baby swim class soon with DD and they require swim diapers. I looked at the smallest size which starts at 16lbs. She is only 13 lbs.

If you have used them before are they true to size? I would hope her bathing suit could hold it up a bit but if he diaper could float away on us I might wait a little longer!

    I'm not sure about the lil swimmers, but have you thought about a cloth swim diaper? it will save you money in the long run. You could get a Thirsties Cover for about $13 and just reuse it. 

    https://www.amazon.com/Thirsties-Wrap-Snap-Meadow-Size/dp/B003AJXY1U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351112057&sr=8-1&keywords=thirsties+duo+wrap

     

    ETA- If you're actually cloth diapering and have a diaper cover you're not using- those will work just fine, same with a pocket diaper shell. You just won't be able to use it as a regular diaper AND a swim diaper. The covers work just fine though. We used a blue thirsties cover over the summer.

    What a ridiculous rule...

    Anyway, I've used the small size Lil Swimmers on the other LOs before they were "big enough" for them, and they worked fine.

    They'll probably be fine, especially under a girl swimsuit. And if not you can use them eventually.
    We've used both the lil swimmers and a Bummis Swimmi and I prefer the Swimmi.

    I've been using the smallest size since K was 10ish lbs.  They were pretty big, but they did what they were meant to do.  I wouldn't worry, they work fine even if they are a little big.

    We have always used both- a disposable swim diaper and a swimmi cover.  We started this when DS1 was a baby and in swim classes and they required it.  I realized how much better protection it was to have both and just kept doing it.  He has only pooped in his swim diaper while in the pool a handful of times but the times it happened, I was so happy he was wearing both.  It is not fun to try to clean them up and the disposable sucked at holding everything in.  Sorry, I know that's gross!

    I just used the Lil' Splashers (Pampers version) on my 13# munchkin and it worked just fine.
